My name is MICKEY. My Animal ID # is A1073562.
I am a neutered male gray domestic mh mix. The shelter thinks I am about 3 YEARS old.

I came in the shelter as a OWNER SUR on 05/13/2016 from NY 11206, owner surrender reason stated was ATT PEOPLE.

05/13/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
05/13/16 18:40 Mickey is a 3 year old gray DMH. He was given to his owner as a gift from a family member and has been in owners care since. He is being surrendered into our facility due to his behavior. There are no known health injuries or concerns. With strangers he is shy for days and is gentle when he plays with adults. He lived with children age 3-12 and was tolerant; he didn’t play with them. He lived with a 1 year old female cat and they were relaxed and affectionate. There is no known experience with being around other cats or dogs. There is no known history of him biting another animal or person. He does scratch on furniture and scratches people. During car rides he is relaxed. There is no history of him having litter box accidents. He likes water so enjoys being bathed. When having his coat brushed it is a struggle and he will hiss. When his coat is being brushed it is also a struggle and he will hiss or swat. When being picked up and held it depends on how he feels. When being placed in a carrier he isn’t bothered. Mickey is described as being independent with a medium activity level that would do best in a single home. He enjoys lying down and being in his favorite spot. He was indoors only and slept in one of his owner’s beds. He ate dry food at least 3 times a day. He is litter box trained using an uncovered box and Silicon litter. He used a vertical scratching post made of carpet.

He allows petting all over and doesn’t mind being held. Reaction to assessor: Mickey was lying down at the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Mickey makes eye contact, stretches out then comes to the front. Reaction to cage door opening: Mickey is calm and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Mickey sniffs the assessor’s hand and allows petting all over. His tail is up and he rubs up against the assessor for attention.
